Hypnotic wind map

Check out this almost real-time animated wind map.



Go to the website (http://hint.fm/wind/index.html), watch it for a bit, and then zoom in.  Unbelievable.  Then compare it to the daily weather map of highs, lows, and fronts (http://cache1.intelliweather.net/imagery/IntelliWeather/fcmap12hour_nat_640x480.jpg).

Winds flow from high to low pressure areas and stream parallel to the frontal boundaries.  Awesome.
